WWE Raw Open Discussion Thread 7/2/12: Back The Mack

The moment of truth has arrived, and Brock Lesnar’s camp will officially respond to Triple H’s SummerSlam challenge on a Raw SuperShow that’s already bursting with tense situations ready to explode at the slightest provocation. While The King of Kings and the wrecking machine hammer out the fine print (or just hammer each other with their fists), WWE Champion CM Punk and Daniel Bryan will be testing the waters with AJ to determine where her favor might lie as the special guest ref for their WWE Title Match at Money in the Bank.

Translation: 23 minutes of talking, 1 minute of punching.

More importantly, WWE continues its march to 1000 episodes of Raw with returning General Managers, and this week features none-other than Theodore R. Long, former Smackdown GM and Team Johnny butler. Long will dance by dribbling two imaginary basketballs, stand backstage awkwardly while a woman rubs up against him and make a tag team match pitting The Undertaker and Randy Orton against The Celtic Warrior Sheamus and RANDY ORTON! Two Randies.

You know, I’m not the type who lusts after wealth and material possessions, but after watching and re-watching Paul Heyman’s promo last night, I’ve decided that my new goal in life is to someday be wealthy enough to hire somebody to accompany me everywhere and refer to me in the SUPER-DRAMATIC THIRD PERSON the way Paul Heyman does for Bork.

“JBSHAKES would like to order a bacon cheeseburger. JBSHAKES wants me to remind you that the last time he placed this order at your establishment, you forgot the bacon. It would be a shame if JBSHAKES had to take his business elsewhere in the future, which almost certainly will happen if you forget to add JBSHAKES’ bacon to his burger this time…”

I think WWE is so bad sometimes…. that when they do something not terrible we freak out. The commercial was a rip-off of the SportsCenter commercials…. the photocopying of the belt was the only funny part….

Up w/ the baby so I’m throwing in my two cents. LOVED Raw tonight, it was a lot of fun. It had many great moments BUT the best Raw moment happened at my house. Miss Elizabeth was wide awake, watching Raw w/ her mommy but not really paying attention until Dolph Ziggler’s intro music hit. Her eyes got wide and she looked right at the TV. I always knew he was her fave because she’d get busy when she was on the inside when he was on TV too.

After watching it, I gotta say the best part Of the ddp appearance is his little known wwe theme, which I only know from playing waaaay too much Smackdown! Shut your Mouth! Life goal fufilled, I can now die in peace.

1. What was the raw commercial everyone is talking about?
2. Please tell me I’m being trolled by wikipedia and the WWE championship MITB match hasn’t changed and that the world heavyweight one will include: Damien Shadow? (Who?) and santino, but not swagger or ziggler?

Yeah..hi, Kane, what’s happening? Uh, I’m going to have to ask you to move your desk. Now, if you could get it to go as far back against that wall as possible, that would be great… That way, we’ll have some room for more boxes and things we need to put in here… So if you could get to that as soon as possible, that would be terrific.

Just watch 3 hour RAW commerical. It was good. If you want to watch it, do a search for “3 hour raw commerical” on Yahoo!, the first link will be wrestlingforum-dot-com and it will have a link for ew-dot-com (Entertainment Weekly) and the video’s on the bottom.

My anti-virus didn’t chime in so the sites should be safe (knock on wood).
